Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi made sure that the game between Atlantic Division table toppers lived up to the hype.
Four minutes into the first period with the Leafs leading 1-0, Max Domi had landed a peach of a hit on Carter Verhaeghe, that sent the latter flying. Florida Panthers defenseman Nate Schmidt did not like it one bit and made sure to make his feelings known by slamming Domi into the side boards moments later. One thing led to another—as it often does in hockey—and gloves were dropped. Schmidt managed to land the first punch. The rest was all Domi, as he pulled the defenseman down by his sweater and absolutely pummeled him before skating into the penalty box.
